your first concern should be to file bail and be present at the arraignment. bide your time, eventually, they may agree to settle.

if you are afraid your witnesses are disappearing, there is a remedy of having them deposed to preserve their testimony, but you will need to get a lawyer to arrange that.

the charge can be upgraded to serious physical injuries, but there has to be basis, such as a new medcert that says it took more than 30 days to heal.

even if you are convicted, you can apply for probation. so just go through the case. hopefully the complainant will eventually settle.

Hi there, atty. I have a current case now, slight physical injury in relation to RA 7610. I will be having my arraignment next week. Just wanna know, what if the child who filed the complaint against me with the guidance of her lola is already with DSWD? Is there still a chance of settlement re the case or what is the best thing that I can do?

chrlie, depends on how long it took to heal as per the med certificate.

Atty, he already got the writ of execution and it states there na kailangang magbayad na lang but the suspect refuses to pay.

And atty. last question dapat po kasi hindi lang less serious because according to the medical certificate more than 30 days and in fact lifetime nabasag na po kasi ung jaw nya. is it possible taasan ung isampang kaso even though there is already a decision

Rush and quite an imposition. I have no lawyer yet. We are in the rejoinder stage and scheduled to submit it on the 28th of this month. The atty who prepared our counter affidavit said it was a 1 time event.

1. Do I need a lawyer for the rejoinder? What will be the contents?2. How long do we wait for the resolution?3. Will I be arrested if the prosecutor finds probable cause?
